Spot bitcoin ETFs

Exchange-traded funds that hold actual bitcoin, so investors can own it through a share market account. US spot bitcoin ETFs launched in January 2024; ASX-listed versions followed.

The fund buys and stores bitcoin with a custodian and issues units that trade like shares. Daily creations and redemptions show whether money is flowing in or out.

Why it matters

ETF flows became one of the largest sources of demand for bitcoin, linking its price more closely to traditional investors and to the US trading day.
